ROXANA LINE RELEASES NEW VIDEO OF SINGLE “MARRY ME”

Roxana Line, a one-girl band”, revealed the third chapter of her upcoming  album, 60% WonderWorlds, 40% Tragedies titled “Marry Me.” The song is about a sorrowful bride in a 19th century wedding who wants to escape from an arranged marriage. A wayward circus trope creeps into town to offer her a place on their “never-ending tour.” Imagine something between My Chemical Romance’s “Helena” and Panic! At The Disco’s “I Write Sins Not Tragedies”.

Roxana shared, “‘Marry Me’ is about coming of age while being trapped in circumstances outside your control. It’s about fighting for being accepted for who you truly are. It’s also about losing a part of yourself while going through various psychological traumas – this is why most of my characters are undead – they fight for themselves but there can’t be a truly happy ending when they lose a huge part of themselves in the process.”

Roxana shared, “‘Marry Me’ is about coming of age while being trapped in circumstances outside your control. “

“Marry Me” opens with an eerie, walking bass line and subdued, old-timey vocal-styling. As Roxana sets the stage, she ascends into a rock opera with shimmering vocals, melodic guitar tones and punchy riffs.

Everyone was pleased and full of aspirations… except the bride…. The young lady was devastated, spending days locked in her room, crying and praying to let her go free of obligations. But the rumors and social pressure were on, and the family was determined. Eventually, she concluded – if she couldn’t keep her free will, she would end her journey on her own terms. Luckily, an old circus was traveling through the town on that rainy day, and the troupe was looking for another lost soul to join their never-ending tour… Mara miraculously escaped only to reappear several months later for a tremendous wedding ceremony that half of the town was invited to. However, it didn’t take long for the guests to realize that what they all gathered for was not a wedding, but rather a funeral…”
